Loves the sound of water

If he hears it running or being splashed he's there in a hurry.



Everytime Zoie's in the bath he is right there. Licking the water off her hair when it comes into reach. Walking back and fourth on the edge of the tube. I think it's the splashing sound of the water he loves so much. He even comes running when I'm getting a glass of water from the fridge. For an animal known for hating water he sure loves it. Doesn't mind getting a bath now and than but only if he's being held.

I would like you to meet

Moe
Short for motorboat. Because all he does is purr, even in his sleep. I'm not sure if that's the name he will keep. I always get over ruled. I'm trying to stand firm. Hey if I have to pay for getting him fixed and declawed, which was the agreement Todd and I had, I should get to name him, right? One would think so. But It probably won't work out that way because I carried those kids for 9 months and all my names got shot down. Zoie swears it's a girl and keeps running girl names past me.
This is where he camped out all night, Jeremy's bed. Just don't tell Zoie because she wanted him to sleep with her. He did lay down with her for a split second but since Jeremy was still up 'Moe' had to check it out and just ended up there all night.
Now that he's up I need to see if he remembers where his litter box is. It's so nice to get a cat that is already trained.

The kids and I got the thumbs up. . .

to finally get a pet. Todd said we could get a kitty cat. I really like dogs better, but I think a cat will fit in better. I don't have to worry about muddy little paw prints on the floor or listening to a barking alarm when someone knocks. Plus with my condition I don't know how bending over all the time cleaning up little potty messes and having to get up fast enough to open the door to let them out. My Aunt has some kittens that will be ready to take home soon. I'll have to go shopping for food, food bowls, litter and litter box sometime so we'll be ready. Oh and I can't forget toys.

I have 1 more month until my little baby will be a big girl. She starts kindergarten. No really, these are tears of joy. Tuesday is school registration. We already have all the school supplies, sitting in a pile in the computer room. I still have to take them to get haircuts and shoes. I need to get Zoie some new shorts. I already got Jeremy's new school clothes.

What am I going to do with myself? I'm still going to babysit on Fridays and I'm thinking and hoping that in a few months I'll be able to get a small job for a few hours a day. Just have to play that by ear.

I'll post pictures of the first day of school and the kitty when we get 'em.
